Chapter 117
The door opened, and the war beasts outside began to sniff.
Mu Ling glanced at Brother Xiang, then stepped forward to drive the animals away, saying, "Alright, alright, being curious about everything will only hurt you, go back to sleep."
The war beasts sniffed for a long time, and after making sure that the strange smell in the house had disappeared, they came over one by one to rub against Mu Ling, until Mu Ling touched them, and then they slowly left.
After Brother Xiang left, Mu Ling closed the door and opened the shopping website.
Mu Ling bought a complete set of small pharmaceutical equipment on the platform that she had set her sights on a long time ago. Seeing that she had spent 60,000 interstellar coins, she sighed heavily.
In fact, Mu Ling would have to buy this equipment sooner or later. In the past, Mu Ling made medicine in her teacher's laboratory, secretly using the teacher's equipment, but now she definitely doesn't have the conditions to do so. Not to mention making medicine for Brother Xiang this time, even if Mu Ling finishes her own medicine later, she will have to make medicine again.
Thinking of this, Mu Ling opened the drawer again and looked at the "calcium tablets" in the drawer.
She unscrewed the bottle and shook it, and found that this bottle was almost finished. It seemed that she only had two bottles left.
Mu Ling took out a calcium tablet, mixed it with water and ate it. Then he screwed the bottle cap back on and went to get thirty blood bottles.
She drew a large tube of Brother Xiang's blood, but in fact, this kind of ordinary blood sample examination did not require so much blood. The remaining blood would be distributed by Mu Ling and sent to fifteen different testing points on fifteen planets. Brother Xiang's blood would have to undergo fifteen more in-depth tests.
But, why do we need to prepare thirty sub-bottles to conduct fifteen tests?
Because she will randomly send fifteen testing items, mainly to confuse people. Even if they are discovered in the future, the other party will not be able to figure out which items she wants to check are real and which items are fake.
After Mu Ling had sealed all the blood in syringes, she put different express labels on them and planned to send them out at dawn.
The next day, Mu Ling woke up in the morning and drove out of the park, went to the delivery point at the foot of the mountain, and sent out all the biological express deliveries.
When sending, the delivery address and sender name of each express delivery were different. In addition to being expedited, it did not look like they were sent by the same person, or even from the same planet.
This is also Mu Ling's experience. It is always a good idea to hide more information about yourself.
Mu Ling was very skilled at doing these things. After all, she also sent her blood for inspection once a year, so practice makes perfect.
After sending the package, Mu Ling drove to a nearby real estate agency and rented a two-bedroom, one-living room house in a suitable location.
After viewing the house, signing the rental contract, and paying the rent, Mu Ling got the house card on the spot.
After changing the delivery address of the pharmaceutical equipment purchased on the shopping website to the newly rented house, Mu Ling has been cleaning and disinfecting the new house.
The goods were delivered around noon. After the deliveryman left, Mu Ling began to install the equipment by herself.
The installation lasted until seven or eight o'clock in the evening. Mu Ling did not leave after the installation was completed. She had to wait for all the instruments to run a self-check to see if everything was operating normally.
It was already past 11pm when Mu Ling was sure that everything was running normally. She was ready to leave. Before leaving, she turned on the newly purchased whole-house sterilization equipment. The house had to be efficiently sterilized for at least eight hours before medicine could be produced in it, otherwise the produced medicine would not meet the specifications.
After turning on the equipment, Mu Ling left and waited for tomorrow's successful acceptance inspection. At the same time, some raw materials for the medicine had to be purchased, and they could start working directly when they arrived tomorrow.
That night, when Mu Ling returned to the park, it was almost one o'clock. She did not go back to the second service area, but went straight to sleep in the dormitory of the first service area.
She slept until the next morning and went out again before dawn.
-
Many people in the park knew that the director had been leaving early and returning late for two consecutive days.
On the second night, when the headmaster finally showed up, everyone asked, "Headmaster, what have you been doing these past two days?"
Mu Ling smiled and said, "I went to the factory for inspection. An acquaintance recommended the factory, saying that it is very good at making plush dolls. Aren't the samples of our next batch of peripherals coming out soon? I thought that we don't necessarily have to make them in the original plush factory. Let's look at a few more and compare prices."
Her explanation was reasonable and no one doubted it, so they took the opportunity to talk about the sales of peripheral products in the past two days.
After dinner in the evening, Mu Ling saw Brother Xiang feeding the flat-footed orangutan melon in the orangutan's glass house.
Mu Ling looked around furtively like a street vendor selling fake medicine. After making sure that there was no one else around, she reached over and stuffed a bottle of vitamins into Brother Xiang's pocket.
"Take two pills three times a day after meals. If you suddenly feel pain somewhere, you can take it, but don't take more than that. You can only take two pills at most. This is a week's supply. Take it first and come back for a follow-up visit after a week to see how effective it is. Then we can change the prescription ratio based on the situation."
Xiang Bie touched the vitamins in his pocket and asked, "Is this what you've been busy with these past two days?"
Mu Ling nodded: "Don't worry, the medicine I made will definitely not harm you, you must take it."
Xiang Bie held the medicine bottle tightly, his heart warmed slightly, and he replied, "Okay."

Director Lu felt a little desperate.
For three days in a row, they couldn't find any guards.
During these three days, more than 20 of them rode in the hovercraft along the river every day, walking from the east to the west, and even went to some corners of the mountains and hills, but they could not see any trace of the iron crocodile.
Director Lu began to doubt: "There are iron crocodiles in our park, right?"
The staff member who was responsible for accompanying them was also embarrassed and could only report the matter to the director.
Mu Ling didn't expect that the guard would suddenly disappear.
She was not someone who often went to the mountains, so she didn't know much about the animals there and could only ask other keepers.
But after asking around, other keepers didn't know either.
The keeper who was in charge of taking care of the hippopotamus said in confusion: "I seem to have seen guards occasionally these past two days."
Mu Ling was stunned, and Director Lu and others were also stunned.
They have been searching in the inner area these days, who would have thought that the guards would run so far out?
Mu Ling asked the breeder: "Did the guards go to the hippopotamus area?"
The keeper shook his head and said, "No, I was passing by the crocodile area on my way off work and saw an alligator that looked like a guard."
Mu Ling immediately asked the keeper in charge of the crocodile area.
The keeper was a little surprised and asked the hippo keeper in confusion: "Which crocodile area did you see the guard?"
There are eight native crocodiles in the Beek Zoo, two females and six males, who are divided into three habitats and do not live together.
This breeder usually runs between three places, which are not close to each other, but he has never seen a guard.
The hippo keeper said, "Area B."
The crocodile keeper was stunned: "No wonder."
Mu Ling asked: "What's wrong?"
The crocodile keeper said, "I've only been to Area B once recently, in the morning. I don't usually go there because the baby crocodiles there are still hatching. The female crocodiles are very aggressive and won't let anyone get close. Even the male crocodiles in the same area have to move to a farther place, so that area hasn't been open to visitors recently."
When the little crocodiles in Area B were hatching, Mu Ling also heard Brother Wei's report.
The estrus season for crocodiles is from May to June. The female crocodile in Area B of their park went into estrus in mid-June and mated with the three male crocodiles in the same area.
Although some crocodiles are monogamous, most crocodiles are polyandrous, that is, a female crocodile will mate with multiple male crocodiles. Multiple paternity can ensure that the baby crocodiles can be born healthier.
The female crocodiles in their park went into estrus in mid-June and, after more than three months of gestation, produced 26 eggs at the end of September, the busiest time when the zoo reopened.
This production rate is actually quite low. Other people's crocodiles lay an average of 30-40 eggs. But their park was still in the closure stage in June. They couldn't take their female crocodiles out for blind dates. If they were to mate with their male crocodiles, frankly speaking, their male crocodiles were not very good, and their fertility rate was not very good either.
Anyway, in the end, they had 26 eggs. After laying the eggs, the female crocodile would incubate them, and the incubation process also took three months.
Therefore, by now, in December, it is almost time for the little crocodiles to hatch from their shells.
Mu Ling didn't expect that the guard actually went to the territory of another female crocodile. What was it doing there?
After knowing the whereabouts of the guard, Director Lu and others became a little restless.
Mu Ling thought about it and decided to take people to the crocodile area B at five o'clock tonight according to the time the hippo keeper said they would see the guards to see if they could really see the guards.
At five o'clock in the evening, Mu Ling and the people from the Animal Rescue Academy sat in a large shuttle bus, floating in the air, observing the situation below with binoculars.
The river below was a little muddy. There was a pile of eggs in the grass, and there was a little crocodile that was almost completely hatched.
Suddenly, Director Lu's eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "Look at the reeds on the right. Are those guards?"
Mu Ling immediately looked to the right and saw the sneaky crocodile pretending to be a stone, lying motionless behind the reeds. It was indeed the guard.
At this time, a huge female crocodile slowly swam over. When the female crocodile found that another little crocodile had hatched from its shell, it suddenly opened its mouth, swallowed the little crocodile in one gulp, and then held the little crocodile in its mouth and brought it into the river.
Baby crocodiles have no sense of direction. If the female crocodile thinks it is unsafe here, she will swallow the baby crocodile after it hatches and take it to safe water to avoid danger.
The little crocodile was born to swim. It soon joined several other little crocodiles in the water. They swam around their mother, while the guard was still peeking over there.
As he was watching, the guard suddenly turned his head, gently bit a stone next to him, then held the stone in his mouth and silently retreated. After retreating to a farther place, he spit out the stone.
It seemed to find this very amusing.
The maximum lifespan of a crocodile is 100 years. Although the four-year-old guard looks big, it is actually very young.
It is also a baby crocodile that has just left its mother not long ago, so it is normal for it to be interested in the relationship between other female crocodiles and baby crocodiles.
The people on the hovercraft kept watching the guards' every move until a while later, when the female crocodile seemed to be very uneasy because of the unfamiliar smell. The guards then left in shame and stayed away from the area.
After the guards left, the driver naturally followed. In the car, Mu Ling put down the binoculars and understood everything.
"I now understand why the guards would save strangers."
All the people from the Rescue Beast Academy immediately looked at her.
Mu Ling said, "The guard is a good imitator. He likes to imitate the mother crocodile carrying her babies, but he doesn't have any babies of his own, so he carries stones, but the stones are dead. Finally, he encountered a living person in the water. The living person was no longer safe, so he carried the living person away and moved to a place he thought was safe, just like a mother crocodile moving her baby crocodile to a safe place."
Mu Ling looked at everyone and said, "So, disperse. Our guards didn't mean to save anyone. It's just young and playing house with itself. It's playing the crocodile mother, and the stone and the living person are playing its baby."
Everyone: “…”
